Inter alia - schedule, program & buy tickets

Translated from German by Anne Rabe

Jessica Parks, a judge at the London Crown Court, has made it. She has reached the pinnacle of her career. She adjudicates with insight and empathy, fights for justice, and challenges a legal system that all too often fails women who have experienced violence. Her daily life is a constant balancing act between her roles as a judge, mother, wife, and friend.

Together with her husband Michael, a lawyer himself, she tries to raise their 18-year-old son Harry to be a respectful, responsible man. But then Harry comes home after a night of partying, and allegations of sexual harassment are leveled against him. Suddenly, everything is at stake for Jessica: her life, her family, and her career. Jessica’s moral and professional convictions are put to the test. A woman who is used to passing judgment now finds herself unsure of where she stands.

Against the backdrop of societal expectations, gender roles, and power dynamics, the story unfolds of a family whose very foundations are shaken. It reveals how deeply these structures penetrate our most intimate relationships—and whose voice is heard, whose future is protected. The play explores modern motherhood, parenting in the digital age, and the ethical dilemma parents face when their child is accused of a crime.

With her play “Prima Facie,” author Suzie Miller created a global success. The world premiere of “Inter alia” in London was also celebrated by both the press and the audience. Now, “Inter alia,” directed by Daniela Löffner, is making its Austrian premiere on the stage of the Theater in der Josefstadt.
